Informative and perfectly timed - We joined 'Oggie' on the Green tour. From the pick-up to drop off the tour was professionally run. Oggie was a fountain of knowledge about the area. Not just the sights on tour but also about the area in general and shared many interesting facts about daily life in Cappadocia. The timing of the stops was perfect and allowed enough time to enjoy each experience. The food was excellent with speedy service and amazing quality. The highlight was the visit to Derinkuy underground city. The Turkish lentil soup - Mercimek Corba was one of the best things I ate during our whole holiday. The visit to Goreme Onyx was interesting and we never felt pressured to buy anything - we ended up going back a few days later to shop at our leisure. A very good introduction to Cappadocia and the perfect way to start our holiday.

Perfection! - I cannot recommend this particular tour highly enough! Not only does it include Selime Monastry, but the entire itinerary was perfect. I felt safe at all times, despite driving and walking in snowy and icy conditions, thanks to a great driver. The icing on the cake was Ali, our guide. He is a connsumate professional - entertaining, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. You could not do better!
